When an after school program is cancelled, the kids' parents decide to have a meeting to determine how they can raise money to reinstate the program. They decide a silent auction offering items donated by the parents will be a good way to raise money. Everyone seems to have good items to offer, but Bill and Judy have nothing. They decide to offer a beef dinner for 2, followed by a tooth cleaning by Judy. No one bids on it, while the other items all have been bid on. Judy and Bill figure out that the reason people want the after school program to continue is to be able to get rid of their children for a couple of hours. At the last minute they change their donation item to an arts and crafts party for the 10 highest bidders. The parents rush the table and their item is a success, beating out the Halversons. The Halversons congratulate them and then suggest they will help with Bill and Judy with the party if they accept 20 highest bids. They all agree. A few days before the party, the Halversons call Judy and tell her they can't help with the party, since they have a sick aunt out of town and must go help her. The party goes on as planned and Judy and Bill are overwhelmed with children running everywhere and problems occurring. Bill returns from the store with some items for the party and tells Judy there are dozens of cars parked at the Halversons and they are having a party, apparently laughing at pulling a fast one on Bill and Judy, who then round up the children and bring eggs and toilet paper to "decorate" the Halversons house. Inside the Halversons are having a memorial for their aunt who died. As eggs hit the windows and toilet paper is streaming everywhere, the Halversons open the door and confront the Millers, who are then embarrassed about the huge mistake they made. A police siren can be heard in the distance and the Millers and kids scatter.
